We Hope That You Choke... That You Choke

ETA Well all of the following has, as I assumed it would be, been debunked. Palahniuk was talking out of his ass. One Radiohead song - "Reckoner" off their latest album In Rainbows - will be on the soundtrack. Turds.
.
This post's title is taken from the Radiohead song "Exit Music (For A Film)" off of OK Computer, and is wholly appropriate for the following news, eh? Via here, this is author Chuck Palahniuk talking about the Sam Rockwell-starring adaptation of his book Choke, which is out Sept. 26:

“Clark Gregg, who directed the movie version of Choke... he knew that I’d written Choke while listening to Radiohead’s Pablo Honey, with "Creep" over and over and over.

So Clark got Radiohead to contribute a song; to write a song for the very end of the movie, the final credits. Apparently Radiohead liked the movie so much, they’ve written the score, most of the ambient music throughout it. So it’s ‘Choke – with the music of Radiohead’“

Okay, I have to do some research, find out if this is all-the-way true or if Chuck's been smoking the funny-stuff, or what. I've been burned on the "Radiohead's scoring an entire movie!" front like a thousand times before. But them scoring a Palahniuk adaptation... swoon! Fingers crossed, y'all.
